Tidal class-action

@tomcy6 that's why I have my Grace Digital Link, a $179 streamer. Also have a topping bc3 Bluetooth receiver. I have zero interest in hi-res streaming. That is what I use my physical media for, serious listening is done with physical media. It's much more fun interacting with a physical copy of something. Watching that record spin, or the reels of the cassette spinning in the Nak or Aiwa....I own 5 turntables for a reason....they all do something different and are a joy to use. Yes, I sometimes get real lazy, and so I use the Grace streamer now and then. 

Are we not in the 21st century ? I am a HiFi+ Tidal subscriber . Whatever track I am streaming ,the bitrate is indicated on the display of my receiver. I don't have to wonder,guess, or question what is being streamed through my sound node. I guess Yamaha has been on to  something for quite some time since my RX-Z9 is 20 years producing quality sound.

I have concluded that CD rate of 44.1 is a more preferred sound for me. The higher bitrates tend to produce too much separation of sound leaving an undesirable emptiness between vocals and instruments as the score progresses to fruition.

I did notice approximately 5-6 weeks ago that the overall sound quality being streamed seemingly has diminished. Not nearly as detailed, regardless of rate being streamed. Until today ,reading these posts , I had no idea that all of this was going on with this streaming service.

I am no expert. I'm 64 and have been rockin it out dating back to when my sister used to stack pennies on the tonearm to keep it in the groove. Still in the "groove" and enjoying every session.

Can you create a playlist on Qobuz like you can on TIDAL? 

Is the user interface on Qobuz as good as TIDAL? Thx.

Yes.

That's a matter of personal preference.

Will be interesting to see what information comes out of discovery. Charging additional money for a service they could not delivery can only mean a couple things in todays charged world. Was it greed and the people in the company were padding their pockets? Or is it that they were being sucked into the dc cartel corporate extortion machine and not making their monthly contributions to b l m. We all know when you don’t pay your juice they will destroy you! Time and information will tell.
